    Xll overlooked by the hydropathists, but which, if fairly considered, might reconcile them to its adoption; and it is only in diseases of the respir- atoiy organs that the hydropathic ]3lan can con- sistently admit of compromise with any other system—^with inhalation it may certainly be ad- vantageously combined. Asthma, and long-standing habitual coughs, which tear the patient, as it were, to pieces, and render life a misery, are subdued much more quickly by inhalation than by any other plan. Comfort and ease are made to take the place of difficult breathing, and that sense of suffoca- tion in the chest which is so distressing. Every medicine of real utility for these complaints will be found in the latter part of the work. All the professions exist primarily for the public, and the author can conscientiously de- clare, that if, by du*ecting the attention of that public to an effectual mode of treating these lamentable diseases, he shall be instnimental in lessening the sum of human miseiy, his rewai'd will be gratifying and ample. 33, Great Charles-street, Birmingham, June, 1847.
